I normally don’t cover pre-prints in the blog, preferring to wait until the final, paginated version is out. But the pre-print for the Marmorkrebs genome by Gutekunst and colleagues is attracting international attention from journalists, and its Altmetric score is climbing fast. This post will collect news articles related to this paper.

This paper also provides the second major snapshot of the spread of Marmorkrebs in Madagascar. While previous papers showed it was in many places around the capital, this one shows just how far Marmorkrebs has spread.
